SAN ANTONIO – The man who authorities say shot and killed three coworkers at a North Side landscape supply company was in the U.S. illegally, according to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Jose David Hernandez Galo, 21, illegally entered the United States in April 2019, as a minor with his family unit, an ICE official told KSAT on Wednesday.
U.S. Border Patrol agents arrested the family on the same day and served them with a notice to appear before an immigration judge. According to ICE, they have not reported to ICE since July 2022.
San Antonio police said Hernandez Galo shot 48-year-old Selvin Chacon, 38-year-old Sergio Chacon and 24-year-old Karen Bautista before 8 a.m. Saturday in the 4400 block of Stahl Road.
They were pronounced dead at the scene.
According to the report, multiple other employees fled the scene to seek safety as shots were fired.
Police said officers secured the area and later found Hernandez Galo hours with a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
While the motive for the shooting is still unknown, during a Saturday news conference, San Antonio Police Chief William McManus confirmed it was not random.
